Science Accuracy Meter: 8/10 🤓
“Most supermarket foods are ultra-processed” is mostly right. But 73% depends on the country and study. Ultra‑processed means factory-made mixes of ingredients you don’t have at home (like flavor enhancers, stabilizers, emulsifiers), not just slicing or cooking. That part and the NOVA system explanation are accurate, but “not edible” is wrong—they’re very edible, just not very healthy when eaten a lot.
• NOVA system (Monteiro et al., 2010, Public Health Nutrition) defines 4 groups: unprocessed to ultra-processed
• US/UK surveys: ~50–70% of calories come from ultra-processed foods (Hall et al., 2019, Cell Metabolism)
• Ultra-processed = packaged snacks, sodas, instant noodles, many cereals – not just chopped or cooked foods

If more food is processed, and people are eating more processed food these days. Why is the average life span increasing as opposed to the past where humans eat more whole food but lived to like 30... genuine question
@Kirkyjo Says:
Years ago I used cool whip 😮
Now that I have paid attention to labels more, I do not buy that or many things I used to buy. I make real whipping cream with heavy cream and a teaspoon of real vanilla. And it tastes so much better too ! 😊

@ryguy0909 Says:
The grocery stores are serving us 70% food-like foods. Essentially fake food. And keep raising the price to maximize profits at the expense of the consumer's health.
@raptorjesus7436 Says:
So basically no real definition or tangible exemple. Got it.

What about MEXORYL 400 Sunscreen? NOT APPROVED BY FDA. The strongest sunscreen known to man. PROVEN REEF SAFE!!! With Countless European studies and approved in every country on the planet except the U.S. We have a cure for skin cancers of the face with this medication. Yes we need some sunlight on our arms and body for vitamin D, but the skin on our face is most at risk and under constant attack. When my grandfather got skin cancer on his nose they just kept cutting and cutting more away each year eventually loosing an eye then spreading to his brain. American sunscreens enter the blood stream and screw up your hormones. MEXORYL 400 XL does not enter the blood stream. It is the holy grail of sunscreen and our FDA refuses to even look at it. Who are they protecting? How many BILLIONS go into the pockets of the FDA from fraudulent American Food companies? Especially when the FDA decides to block a superior medication or product from Europe? Both FDA approvals and Denials of products are based around greed and not in the best interest of the American people. Let’s not forget that the FDA is about as transparent as the CIA.

@DrummerJacob Says:
This video fails to explain the issue with them and simply describes what processing food means which a dictionary also does.
@pandamilkshake Says:
If your grandmother doesn't know what it is, it's ultra-processed.
@mertonhirsch4734 Says:
Corn oil and soybean oil are definitionally ultra processed.

Some people are saying it's rare for a question to be answered so smoothly and understandable but Jordan Peterson is the king of it. And apparently this other dude is. I retained a s*** ton of information and a matter of seconds
@yosecretsquirrel Says:
It not 73%, its 93% of supernarket foods are considered ultraprocessed now. 100% are processed, even eggs. Modern groceries have become low key lethal at best.
@marigi2013 Says:
The Amish people make cool whip all the time. what you buy at the store that is labeled “cool whip” is not actually traditional organic cool whip.
@curatedcuriosities8208 Says:
"Food-like products!" Perfect! 😆

@Kiwisilverfox106 Says:
Hmmm, if your supermarket has a ‘health food’ section; what the hell does that mean the rest of the food is?
@MayHemsdottir Says:

@Lyn-io5tx Says:
Food should be your medicine. Ultra processed foods are a big reason for many diseases. All disease begins in the colon.

This is capitalism right? What JP defends vehemently. Profit over people.
@Jitzau Says:
I looked up what are ultra processed foods and it listed apple pie, French fries, carrot cake, and cookies, all of which you can make in your home fairly easily.
@eigenvictor_ Says:
Why are ultraprocessed foods bad, though? Do they provide an argument? As long as the ingredients are proper I don't see a problem with those
@pflume1 Says:
For a moment, i didn't think we were going to get an answer. Then we got an example. I'm still not sure why it bad, just heard that it is. ( You know a lot of food is cooked. Does that make it processed? )
@blazestation408 Says:
You cant make rice in your own kitchen is it ultra processed?
